Hebrews 2:1, 3 NKJV Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away…how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

What manner of persons ought we to be?
I think that we, as Christians, sometimes are so inundated with the “stuff” of modern Christianity that we often forget the things that are most basic and most important in our faith, those things which separate us from the rest of the world. It is those things which define the manner of persons we ought to be, those things which define “holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God.”

God speaks in six great ways: in nature and creation; in the moral law; in
the Scriptures; in Jesus Christ; in human conscience; and in history. All
these things are, of course, forever imperishably true. And all of us know
them to be true, and have known it for years; yet many of us believe no more
now in the practical Voice of God than when we first heard them.
We cannot carry on a conversation with God through nature, or the moral law.
We find God’s general will in the Scriptures. We find God still more
directly in Jesus Christ. But human conscience is no perfect reflector of
God, and history only points to His existence and His general will. We want
something much more direct.
We want to know that God can and does speak directly to the human heart. The

I just want to share how God has blessed me. The past few years have been difficult as I’ve been recovering from codependency. One of the hardest things I’ve struggled with has been anxiety, which reared its head as I started to let go of the codependent behaviour. I realized that there was so much fear underneath all the controlling I had been doing all those years. I was having panic attacks all the time. had to go on meds for it and depression too. I thought my life was coming to an end because of how bad I felt.
That’s why social events like Christmas were a nightmare. I was also reacting to my parents because I had a lot of rejection coming to the surface. I felt like a teenager around them because everything they did made me cringe.

The following quote contains “principles for Christian living” that are taken mostly from the ‘wisdom’ literature of the bible: Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
It is impossible for one to live right, or to have wholesome
relationships, without following Scriptural principles.
I’VE LEARNED that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved…
The rest is up to them.
I’VE LEARNED that no matter how much I care,
some people just don’t care back.
I’VE LEARNED that no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I’VE LEARNED that just because someone doesn’t love you
the way you want to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you
with all they have.
